Congrats, PurmoGroup — first EPDs on the board

What PurmoGroup makes and why this debut matters

PurmoGroup builds indoor climate comfort solutions for residential and commercial projects. Think steel panel radiators, design towel warmers, electric towel rails, multilayer composite pipes, and press‑fit components that move heat and water efficiently. With first EPDs now live, those SKUs can compete in low‑carbon specs where product‑specific declarations often decide the shortlist.

The first wave of EPDs

PurmoGroup’s debut arrived in March 2025, with additional publications in April, October and November 2025. We count nine current EPDs covering both equipment and distribution hardware. The program operator shown across this set is EPD Hub.

What’s covered at a glance

• Steel panel radiators, with a family‑level scope that fits common room‑heating specifications.
• A product‑specific round‑tube radiator model.
• Hydronic towel warmers and an electric towel rail line.
• Multilayer composite piping under the GERPEX RA naming.
• Press fittings for MLCP systems, including variants marketed for leak‑before‑press functionality.

Scope notes in the listings mix product families and single‑SKU declarations. That balance helps design teams do apples‑to‑apples checks on hero models while still giving breadth where lines have many sizes.

Who verified the documents

This release sits with EPD Hub, a digital‑first operator aligned to EN 15804 and ISO 14025. That choice signals a practical route into European projects that expect ECO‑recognized EPDs and a clear path for future portfolio rollouts.

Competitive read: radiators

Radiators are a crowded aisle. Two names specifiers know already show EPD coverage.

• Stelrad Radiator Group lists a current panel‑radiator EPD with EPD International. Their footprint today is narrower in scope than PurmoGroup’s multi‑family plus single‑model mix.
• Zehnder Group France, through Acova, has several current PEPs for central‑heating and electric towel radiators. That means real competition on bathroom heat points, yet PurmoGroup’s mix now reaches beyond bathrooms into core panel radiators.

Net effect for bids. PurmoGroup moves from “ask us for data” to “download it and compare” across flagship heaters, which keeps them in the room when carbon‑accounted tendering is tight.

Competitive read: hydronic piping and fittings

Distribution gear often decides the whole system. Uponor shows dozens of current EPDs that span MLCP, radiant systems, and accessories. PurmoGroup’s new EPDs for GERPEX RA pipe and FIVPRESS‑type fittings put them on that same playing field. It is a smaller set today, yet it covers the reference items many contractors and MEPs spec first.

What this unlocks in the spec economy

When a product lacks a product‑specific EPD, project LCAs often fall back to conservative generic factors. That can quietly tilt a substitution toward a rival who has one. With nine current declarations, PurmoGroup now reduces friction at submittal time, keeps distributors from searching for alternates, and gives energy‑modeling teams data they can trust. The commercial upside shows up as fewer slowdowns and more straightforward approvals.

Can buyers find these on Purmo’s sites

We found public posts that acknowledge Purmo’s EPD and PEP activity, such as a 2025 note on new PEP ecopassports for panel radiators and towel warmers and an earlier corporate news item announcing a first EPD for Thermopanel V4. The primary download path for the 2025 set still runs through the operator library, not a single consolidated PurmoGroup EPD page. Adding a one‑page EPD library on their site that links directly to operator PDFs would improve visibilty for specifiers who start from brand pages.

Timing note on listings

These EPDs began publishing in March 2025. If a declaration appears with the program operator before it shows up in the global directories many architects use, that lag is normal. It can run weeks or even months in some cases. If speeding that gap to a day or two matters for future launches, reach out and we can share playbooks for faster listings.

The takeaway

PurmoGroup has entered the transparency arena with coverage that spans what they sell most. Radiators are now comparable on verified data. Towel warmers and electric bathroom models are documented. Hydronic pipes and fittings have a credible start. In competitive terms, they have caught up to radiator mainstays and put a flag down in hydronics where large players already publish. That combination should help them win more specs without detours.
